# PureClock vs Household Clock

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PureClock at 78% against Household Clock's 0%. PureClock also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and ratings volume (44 vs 1). Household Clock's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

PureClock is free to download; Household Clock costs $1.99 up front. PureClock sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Household Clock asks for nothing beyond the download.

Household Clock holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PureClock has 44 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of PureClock's written reviews are positive against 0% of Household Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PureClock ships an update fortnightly, Household Clock every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
